"The officer was like, 'You want to battle?' And so I'm self-confident, so I'm like, 'Yeah, of course,' and then we start battling and battling with my fresh moves," Ellis said. "I didn't know why he would challenge me, (because) he (saw) that I was pretty good over there. So I don't know why he would try that."

Ellis’ moves will be seen on NBC’s "Little Big Shots." He and his father were flown to Los Angeles, an experience that he said he’ll never forget.

“When they first opened this, I'm like, 'Whoa, this is a pretty decent-sized stage.' And it's like so many chairs, but then the night of (filming), (Steve) Harvey was there and there's like so many people and I'm like, 'OK, we've got to do this,” Ellis said.

Ellis’ father, Lamar, said he’s not surprised something like this would happen with a personality like Ellis’. He said watching his son on stage was emotional for him and his wife.

“We've waited patiently, and so we're having a party this Sunday, and he deserves it. He deserves it, Lamar Weaver said. "He's a good student in school, well behaved, great manners. So he deserves it, and so it's been a wait, but it's time to celebrate."

Ellis is continuing to pursue the arts through an acting and modeling program in Cincinnati.

He episode of “Little Big Shots” airs at 8 p.m. Sunday. He’ll have his own dance-off with Harvey, and the host has a big surprise planned for him.
